Penelope in Retrograde (2023)
Brooke Abrams
"Brooke Abrams's Penelope in Retrograde is the ultimate feel-good novel. It's utterly charming, laugh-out-loud funny, and interspersed with genuine, heartfelt moments. Abrams's dialogue sparkles, and her characters come to life in all the best, most relatable ways. I loved it."
Our Little World (2022)
Karen Winn
"Karen Winn's Our Little World is a spellbinding portrait of sisterhood which had me compulsively turning pages and holding my breath. When I finished, I had that wonderful wrung-out feeling that comes from reading something truly revelatory and beautiful."
Welcome to the Neighborhood (2022)
